The complete question in the attached figure

Let
x------------->  pounds of almonds-------> (<span>$7 per pound)
</span>y------------->  pounds of cashews-------> ($10 per pound)
z------------->  pounds of walnuts------->  ($12 per pound)

we know that
x+y+z=12---------------> equation 1
7x+10y+12z=118---------> equation 2
z=2+y--------------------> equation 3

<span>replacing equation 3 in 1 and 2
</span>x+y+(2+y)=12----------> x+2y=10--------> equation 4
7x+10y+12*(2+y)=118--> 7x+10y+24+12y=118--> 7x+22y=94 --> equation 5

using a graph tool-----> to resolve the system of equations
see the attached figure

the solution is the point (4,3)
x=4
y=3
z=2+y-----> z=2+3-------->z=5

pounds of almonds are 4
pounds of cashews are 3
pounds of walnuts are 5

therefore

the answer is the option
a. The customer buys 1 more pound of walnuts than almonds and 1 more pound of almonds than cashews

Complete equation of the line through (1,4) and (2,2)
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

y = -2x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

y=mx + c

m is the gradient and c is the y intercept

m = (y 2 - y 1)  / (x 2 - x 1)  = (2-4) / ( 2-1) = -2

y= -2x + c

To find c, just sub one of the coordinates into the eqn:

By using the coordinates (1,4)

4 = -2(1) + c

c = 6

Therefore, the equation is y = -2x + 6

attashe74 [19]

Answer:

9 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Pounds of bananas=2 7/8

=23/8

Pounds of apple=3 1/2

=7/2

2 bags of oranges=2 3/4 each

11/4 each.

Total pounds of oranges=2(11/4)

=22/4

Total pounds of fruits Marisol bought from the market=pounds of bananas+pounds of apples+pounds of oranges

=28/8+7/2+22/8

Find the L.C.M and add them

The L.C.M=8

Total pounds of fruits =28+28+22/8

=78/8

=9 6/8

Equivalent to

9 3/4

What is the value of x in the diagram below?
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: x = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

It's a polygon of 7 sides

The sum of internal angles in a polygon equals 180(n-2), where n = # of sides

                 

            Internal angles = 180(7-2)

                                      = 180(5)

                                     = 900°

      (x + 50) + (x + 50) + (x + 50) + x + x + x + (x + 50) = 900

      4(x + 50) + 3x = 900

      4x + 200 + 3x = 900

      7x = 900 - 200

      7x = 700

      x = 700 / 7

      x = 100
